Shaw had a wonderful VIjay Hazare Trophy and will be looking to continue his form in IPL 14.
Amre who has been overseeing the Delhi Capitals training session in Mumbai, also said that Shaw has been requesting him to come to training earlier than the scheduled time to spend more time at the nets.

“We all know he had a great Vijay Hazare Trophy. 800 runs in 8 matches. He is carrying his confidence which is what we wanted. We wanted him to be in good form. I think he himself was spending more time, he is asking me to come early at 3 o'clock, and getting more balls, hitting more balls,” He said.
In absence of Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant will be leading the DC side, and the 52-year-old former India batsman is looking forward to having the new captain in the mix in Mumbai as he feels that as a young captain, he should understand the strengths and weaknesses of his players in the lead up to the new season.
“I will pass on my baton to head coach. We all know how well Ricky handles the team. We also want Rishabh to be there, and as a captain, he should know about the players, their current form. He must have his gut feeling to back the players,” Amre added.
The Delhi-based franchise will begin their IPL 14 campaign against the three-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Mumbai on 10 April.
